Reply #3: Unitarians, you mean?

Most of the Presbyterians I know would dispute your characterization. I suppose if you're comparing them to a fundy group . . .

I'm an atheist and the idea of 'belonging' doesn't sit too easily - but I don't think this is the beginning of an organizational movement. Perhaps more of a reaction to being marginalized for many, many years. There is safety in numbers, as any marginalized group can attest, and while I don't think that the vast majority of atheists are concerned with physical harm, it can be very difficult and isolating to be surrounded by people who believe that you are not only wrong, but fundamentally flawed.

Organizing atheists would be as futile as herding cats - too many opinions!
